My good friend and regular singer at King Bar Karaoke Eda, had organised a surprise 40th birthday party for her boyfriend Göksay, who also comes along to the Karaoke and blows everyone else out the water, what with him being a professional Opera singer. I was due to host the quiz last night but I […]

We hadn’t had a Pool night for a while so I arranged to play Dakota and Alper. Alison came along to support her man, not expecting him to win of course, just going by his track record alone. It also, gave me an excuse to get a Learning Turkish book back from Alper which he […]

So I had seen my friend Rusty James perform at Khoffner Bar a couple of weeks before but I didn’t have enough money for more than one beer so I left early. I learned that the duo he performs in, Rock Heart play there every Sunday and Monday so I promised him I’d be back. […]

Despite the fact that I had come down with quite a heavy bout of the cold on Wednesday I went ahead and done the quiz anyway. By the time Friday afternoon had come I thought I was over the worst of it anyway and so I didn’t bother cancelling it. As it turned out on […]

On a Friday the Fruit and Vegetable Market comes to my part of town and so I went with Aynur to buy some healthy food…for a change. This is my favourite stall at the market, lots of dried fruit and nuts with Figs and Cashews top of the list. Here is Aynur testing out the […]

It had been raining all week and I had put off announcing the quiz as I know it puts people off coming out. However on Friday morning Clare asked me if I was doing it and the weather seemed ok, so I created the event and announced it on facebook. The quiz was due to […]
